Trekking of Catria

Five-days horseback trekking for a full-immersion experience in the heart of the Apennines, discovering hills, mountains and rivers. A slow, invigorating itinerary during which tiny villages, hamlets and monasteries will be able to tell us the millennial history of a beautiful and authentic territory, although not very well known.

This trekking has been also conceived for the hottest months of summer, so we will try to grant to our guests a daily stop along the river, to face the heat and to refresh.

The first day will consist in a horseback ride among the beautiful hills of the Montefeltro area, to get closer to the Apennine (night in a tent inside a campsite).
The second day in the morning we will reach the wonderful Fonte Avellana monastery and then we will go up to the characteristic top of Monte Catria, with its beautiful meadows (night in a tent inside a base camp or in a shelter).

The following day will be an immersion in the massif of Monte Catria and Acuto, with its wild horses and beech woods. We will reach in the same day the flat top of Monte Petrano for a starry night (night in a tent iside a base camp).

The following day we will cross the "Wood of Tecchie" up to Pianello di Cagli, famous for its craft saddles. After the stop we will climb the Monte Nerone massif until reach the Slowcanda in the wonderful village of Bacciardi, where we will have dinner and where we will spend the last night.

Our green and gold hills will be again the protagonists on the fifth day, during our way back to Ca' Maddalena we will cross the amazing Eremo creek.
